To get started, just click "Menu" button and choose a favorite menu style, and then personalize it with your background image, background music, item position, etc. Select "No Menu" to burn a DVD without a menu. If you particularly like some menus, you can add them to favorite for easy access next time.

Make sure everything is perfect by clicking the "Preview" button to preview your DVD movie. Then insert a blank DVD disc and click "Burn" to choose "DVD Disc" option from the drop-down menu. Now this iDVD alternative already begins to work, just leave it in the background. When the DVD burning is complete, it will eject the DVD automatically.

Note: If your DVD project is larger than 4.7G and you don't have a DVD9 disc (7.9G) , just insert a DVD5 disc, Wondershare Mac DVD Creator will compromise between video quality and file size. Your movie will be automatically resize to fit a DVD5 disc.

Note:

1. In fact, if your final goal is just to burn DVDs, you don't have to convert to ISO format first. You can burn MP4 to DVD directly in this app instead.

2. If you have converted MP4 to ISO files and then burned to a DVD disc which failed to work on home DVD player, that's the MP4 to ISO conversion process wasn't right.
3. Converting MP4 to ISO as a data disc and then burn to a DVD disc won't be recognized by many DVD players. What you need is a program that really does the MP4 to ISO conversion job like the above mentioned DVD creator.

FAQs about iDVD Problems:

1. Question: iDVD burning keeps freezing and the DVD disk is rejected at last step with no error message. How to solve the problem?
You can try to adjust the burn speed x2 and save your DVD as DiskImage. If iDVD still doesn't work, it's good for you to look for an iDVD alternative. You may see some solution threads stuffed with complicated settings, but be careful if you aren't a computer freak. Actually, there is no such a good solution to your problem at present.

2. Question: iDVD still works on Mavericks?
In fact, iDVD was discontinued by Apple for a long time. However, I find that iDVD 7 works well on Mavericks. You can't get iDVD 7 separately, in case that you buy iLife '09 or '11. If you think that is too much for you, just search the Mac Apple store to get another similar software.

I find this program to be very expensive. $39.00 for a one year subscription is ridiculous I do understand that compensation must be had for the work but I am also trying to make a living burning DVDs of my work for my clients and the price cuts into my bottom line.

When I open a project, Wondershare says that I've not enough space on disk. But my project is 954 MB and on my disk is 4.7 GB availeble. How can I fix this?

You can set the time of menu song, but there are just only three options: 15 seconds, 25 seconds, 35 seconds. During preview, the song is looping. However, the song will last for the time you've set once it has been burned into a DVD.

Mario
I have the same problem. I chose a static menu with a background song and stops at about 15 seconds without looping or finishing the song. Can this be solved?

Julia
i bought this program about a day ago and when i burned it onto the disk it worked on the tv, except one problem. The menu song plays for about 15 seconds and then it stops, as well as the thumbnail preview they both just stop instead of continuing to loop and the music continuing itself. Any reason for this?
